Wei Fourteen's gaze was awe-inspiring.

His body froze for almost a moment, the suspicion behind Bai Ling's question.

"There's no way he's still alive." Wei XIV replied almost word for word.

Looking at Wei Shixi's expression, Bai Ling himself was a little skeptical that his conjecture was a little too bizarre. The matter was about the people Fourteen respected the most, and she wasn't sure if her question just now seemed a little presumptuous.

Bai Ling lowered his head and scratched his head, and looked at Wei XIV again with some difficulty, "I mean, if." ”

"Recently, the celebrant has taken advantage of the tampering of the previous files, and several people have been sent to prison, at this juncture, it is best not to disclose the things you see alive underground, this is for your own safety." Speaking of this, Wei Shixi repeated softly again, "My master is seven years older than the Queen Mother, and he passed away ten years ago, and the bones I picked up for him with my own hands will never be alive." ”

"Could it be true that the celebrant said that their files had been altered?"

"Then I don't know," Wei Fourteen said softly, "but it's true that the Archives Division has changed a group of guards on duty in the past few days. ”

Bai Ling narrowed his eyes and thought about it, but he couldn't help but ask, "What happened to the fourteenth master back then?" ”

Wei Shiv simply stopped the topic.

"That's not something you should inquire, Burling."

Bai Ling quickly withdrew her gaze, and she replied with a sigh, "I understand. ”

For a while, Bai Ling was a little unsure whether to tell him about the birth of Cining Palace in the morning.

From Fourteen's reaction, she fully understood that Wei Ying was already an image that could not be assumed and deduced by others at will.

The Queen Mother is probably too.

Although, based on a modern brain that does not have the framework of the Three Principles and Five Constants in its thinking, there are already many romantic or dangerous speculations in Bai Ling's mind. But if these words were really said, it might make Fourteen regret that he had talked to him about Master Wei Ying yesterday, and even directly provoke him.

"I'm sorry." Bai Ling suddenly added, "What I just said may indeed be a little inconsiderate. ”

Wei XIV didn't answer, but from the look in his eyes, Bai Ling knew that he had been forgiven.

However, Bai Ling still retains his previous guess in his heart, if a person can know the inner court well, can come and go freely in a palace like the Book Division, and a casual sentence overlaps with the Queen Mother's side, how to think about the secret guard is a very likely identity.

Even if that person was not Wei Ying, he must have held an important position in the palace.

Bai Ling remembered that the man had said that he had to be on duty underground from the afternoon and the next morning, and Wei Fourteen denied the identity of this person who was on duty in the Scroll Division, so this sentence was probably a lie, but his appearance looked very ordinary, and he was not born to bask in the sun like Fourteen.

"Here you go." Wei Fourteen's voice interrupted Bai Ling's reverie, and she looked up to see that Fourteen had walked straight to her table.

He reached out and removed the candlestick in the center of the table, and then spread out a one-foot-wide and two-foot-long picture in its entirety on the table.

It was the map of Baihuaya that Wei 14 copied from the exhibition room of the Jiaofang Division today, Bai Ling stepped forward and saw that the pitch-black ink line outlined the outline of the entire Baihuaya triple, and there were more than a dozen places filled with vermilion, scattered throughout the boundary of Baihuaya.

"What are these?"

"These are the former guard houses, and the people below call it the lice cage, which was specially placed when the previous dynasty expanded Baihuaya, and it was a place for night guards to take turns and rest. But most of them are now abandoned. Wei Fourteen said softly, he stretched out his hand and pointed to a red dot in the lower left corner, "Look here." ”

Bai Ling followed his fingers, squinted his eyes and observed for a moment, and suddenly reacted, "This is the place where Aunt Shen lives?" ”

"Hmm. The hut where she lives is the guard house in this area," Wei XIV said softly, "The guard house is no better than other places, even if the guards are withdrawn, it is still the official territory, so"

"I see." Bai Ling has already understood, "Then next, you should follow the vine and find the power party that protects Aunt Shen."

Fourteen really never disappointed when it came to intelligence gathering.

This night, when the sound of the third watch outside came, Bai Ling and Fourteen had already rested.

The candles in the room had been extinguished, but Bai Ling couldn't sleep, she tossed and turned, and finally said, "Fourteen? I thought about it, and I still have to tell you something, don't blame me, and don't be angry with me. ”

There was a slight disturbance from the beam, Wei Shixi sat up, looked condescendingly at the bed not far away, and his voice was calm, "Is it still about my master?" ”

"I don't know if it's your master, I'll just repeat everything I heard and don't speculate, okay?"

"Hmm."

After receiving this answer, Bai Ling talked about the conversation between the Queen Mother and herself in the morning, the small garden of Weifu, the wisteria under the swing frame, and the sentence "You must go at dusk to see the flowers and vines in the sunset."

Bai Ling didn't continue, but she believed that Fourteen should understand that the old man was most likely the old acquaintance of the Queen Mother.

She wasn't worried that that person would pose any threat to the Queen Mother, and what made her more concerned was why this old man suddenly appeared that night and personally led her around.

"Before the Queen Mother, did you mention wisteria or anything in front of you?"

Wei Shixi shook his head and denied it softly. After a long time, his voice came again, "Let me think about it, you can sleep first." ”

The east side hall fell silent again.

Early the next morning, in King Gong's mansion, the prince was already dressed and ready to walk to the Guozijian.

He looked at the whip mark on his left cheek with some concern, the wound had healed faster than he had expected, and although it was still very conspicuous, it was completely swollen, and the dark brown shell had formed on the scratches that were very ugly.

He stared at the wound, a little bit wanted to tear the shell directly, and suddenly remembered that Lu Dou had told him earlier that if he picked the wound indiscriminately, it would leave a scar, so he endured it and didn't do it.

After looking left and right for a long time, the prince simply didn't care, trotted all the way out of the door, and when he passed the small garden of the palace, he suddenly heard his mother calling him behind him.

Shizi stopped, and when he looked back, he saw his mother drinking tea alone in the small garden.

"Mother, it's time for me to go out."

"Don't worry about this moment," the princess said with a little surprise on her face, "let me see your clothes"

"Clothes?" Shizi lowered his head, "What is there to see?" ”

She asked Shizi to put his hands on the sides of his body, and sure enough, the sleeves of this dress could no longer cover Shizi's wrists.

If I remember correctly, this spring shirt is still the new robe of the Guozijian made last winter, and it has only been more than three months, and it is already worn small.

The princess sighed, but the prince with a smile in her eyes has grown to the age of spending clothes again......
